Multi-Million
Dollar Deal Leads This
Week's Domain Sales Chart With Three 6-Figure Transactions Also on
the Elite List

Maybe I should go away more often! I
was on vacation last week, so the last sales column was two weeks
ago. During that "quiet" time (from a reporting standpoint), the domain aftermarket was busy making noise including the
year's biggest sale to
date(and only the second 7-figure sale made public so
far this year). There were also three six-figure sales and dozens more in
the five-figure range.

I'll bring you up to date on all of those
in this double length report. We are also expanding our usual
Top 20 Charts to 40 positions each to make room for two weeks
worth of sales data.

The blockbuster sale (that I told you
about on in our Lowdown section Monday)
was IG.com at $4.7 million, a figure that easily
eclipsed the previous leader, 114.com, a domain that sold for
$2.1 million in July. Brokers Tessa Holcomb (CEO at Igloo.com)
and Marcus Kocak put the the IG.com sale together, helping
London's IG
Group acquire the domain from a firm located in Brazil.
The multi-million dollar exchange of funds was handled by Escrow.com.

The trio of six-figure sales followed
IG.com on our all extension Top 40 Sales Chart with the #2 spot
going to 3C.com at $140,000 (I also broke the news
on this sale in our Lowdown section). That deal was jointly brokered
by SuccessClick.com
and DomainGuardians.com.
#3 Dumpsters.com was sold through DNBiz.com
for $110,000 with investment/development partners John
Fenn and Mark Campbell making that purchase. Sedo
rang up the third 6-figure sale with #4 Deco.com at $100,000.

DomainNameSales.com
piled up the most chart entries, filling in ten slots with a roster
led by #8 (tie) BudgetDirect.com at $50,000. Sedo and Afternic
were also firing on all cylinders with Sedo claiming nine places on
the Big Board and Afternic notching seven spots on the elite list.

Chart honors also went to AlanAdlari.com
who sold #7 Mekan.com ("place" in Turkish) for $51,500,
NetFleet.com.au
who had the week's biggest ccTLD sale, #17 MySuper.com.au
at $28,691, and Andrew Hyde's TechnologyGroup.com
who had one of the week's biggest non .com gTLD sale, #20
(tie) AutoCare.org at $25,000 (the other was PokerRoom.net
at the same price via DomainNameSales).

FindYourDomain.com
also took a bow with #20 (tie) BathroomAccessories.com at
$25,000 and NameJet
scored with #13 (tie) EPH.com at $18,000. They helped
the .coms sweep 36 of the 40 chart entries. The non
.com gTLDs were limited to three spots with Afternic's sale of #31 Yachting.net
at $19,999 joining the two I mentioned above. The ccTLDs
claimed only two places with #26 (tie) NF.tv at $20,000
joining MySuper.com.au. NF.tv was sold by MostWantedDomains for Legacy
Fund LLC.

Here is how all of the
sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, Sept. 8:

Keep in mind that these are the highest
value cash only sales that have been reported to us in the
past week. This column is meant to be an educational tool,
not a complete list documenting ALL high
value domain sales. Such a list is impossible to produce
because many sales are kept private at the insistence of
buyers, sellers or both. Our procedure for verifying the
accuracy of domain sales reports is available here.

There were 14 more five-figure sales just off the
chart led by Sedo's sales of KiteSurfer.com ($14,000), Adjust.com
($13,500) and Iway.com ($13,300). They also moved VideoFusion.com
for $10,000.

FindYourDomain.com drew $13,000 for YQF.com
and $10,000 each for CatalystPartners.com and TravelU.com
while DomainNameSales racked up $12,500 for CPBJ.com and
$12,000 apiece for GotGroove.com, HotelNapaValley.com
and Invitor.com.

Sedo had 89 more four-figure .com sales

Country Codes

The ccTLDs wereled by a pair of
solidf five-figure sales - MySuper.com.au at $28,691
Via NetFleet.com.au and NF.tv at $20,000 through
MostWantedDomains on behalf of seller Legacy Fund LLC. Following
those two on our expanded Country Code Top 40 Sales Chart
are a pair of Sedo domains - #3 Octop.us at $8,000
and Parent.co.uk at $6,700. Afternic's $6,700
sale of Central.com.au rounded out the first five.

Sedo wound up sweeping 31 of the 40 chart
entries. DomainLore.co.uk
was one of the venues that kept Sedo from running the board.
DomainLore's $5,103 sale of #12 Quit.co.uk pushed
the lifetime sales total for Denys Ostashko's company
past the £1 million mark.

Germanys .de led the extension race with
nine chart entries followed by Great Britain's .co.uk
with seven. Australia's .com.au had four names on the
leader board followed by Tuvalu's .tv, Montenegro's .me
and Colombia's .co with three each. The only other
extension with multiple chart entries was Switzerland's .ch
with two.

Here is how the country code leaders stacked
up for the two weeks ending Sunday, Sept. 8:

There were dozens of additional
four-figure ccTLD sales off the chart led by Sedo's sales of Bodmer.de
and Wohnen-Hamburg.de at $2,394 each. KEU.de added
$2,390, Hotel.mn booked $2,387 and Kaffeekurier.de
delivered $2,374.

GetDigital.co.uk contributed $2,355 to
the Sedo till while TeamBuilding.nu brought $2,350
and Reflector.nl lit up $2,328. Sedo had 58 more
four-figure ccTLD sales ranging from $1,000 to $2,300 that
are listed in the table below:

NameJet notched $2,000 each for E.pw
and Y.pw while Afternic sold ZMJ.de ($1,965) and MOV.us
($1,200).

DomainLore.co.uk moved YT.co.uk ($1,727),
Client.co.uk ($1,609) and KeyCutting.co.uk ($1,198)
while Golem.eu
collected $1,567 apiece for Hosp.at and
InstaForex.eu and $1,306 each for Decisio.eu, RedRose.be
and Vivia.be.

that you are not familiar with, you can look up the nation each
extension goes with here.

Non .com gTLDs (.biz, .info, .mobi,
.net, .org, .asia, .pro & .tel)

The non .com gTLDs were led by the three
five-figure sales you saw in the all extension section at the
top of this report. Two of those - AutoCare.org and PokerRoom.net
at $25,000 each - rank among the year's 10 biggest
sales to date in this category.

The highest sale in this group that you haven't
seen yet is #4 on our expanded Non .Com gTLD Top 40 Chart
- that is Meld.net at $9,500 via DomainNameSales.
Afternic's $7,888 sale of QVI.net rounds out the
first five.

The .nets easily won the
extension race with 26 of the 41 chart entries (the extra
spot resulted from a tie for the final position). .Org
followed with 12 and the remaining three spots went to .info.

Here's how all of the Non .Com gTLD leaders
stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, Sept. 8:

There were several dozen four-figure sales off
the chart led by Afternic's sale of NeuralNetwork.net at $1,999.
iPoker.net added $1,995 and FSBT.net fetched $1,977.

Afternic had 35 more four figure non
.com gTLD sales ranging from $1,000 to $1,888 that
